The Jazz are a young team so even in a blowout, George, the 22-year-old point guard, played 34 minutes. He scored 20 points, which was his lowest output in five games, and was just two rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double. George’s run of excellent play continues. He’s becoming one of the biggest fantasy steals of the season. The Jazz are back on the floor Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

Markkanen returned from a two-game absence due to a groin injury. The Jazz lost by 23 points, but he still played 36 minutes and scored 27 points in the blowout loss. He’s had at least 26 points in five of six games in December so far. Markkanen will be back in action Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

As long as Marshall is in the starting lineup, he’s worth rostering in 14-team leagues and some 12-team leagues as well. He didn’t record any defensive stats in Monday’s defeat, but the Mavericks wing has been a top-100 player over the last two weeks. Marshall will look to build on that production when Dallas hosts Denver on Tuesday.

Flagg’s final line was good with one notable exception: free-throw shooting. The rookie missed half of his 10 attempts, a surprising performance given that he was an 82.8 percent shooter from the foul line entering the game. Over the last two weeks, Flagg has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (42). The season-long value remains two rounds lower than his ADP, but he’s headed in the right direction after a slow start.

Thompson came out hot on Monday, making some wonder if a “turn back the clock” performance was in store. Unfortunately, after shooting 7-of-12 from the field in the first half, the veteran wing missed all five of his attempts in the second half. Thompson’s final stat line was good, but Monday served as a reminder both of what he’s capable of and how much more difficult it is for him to sustain that production over the course of a game.

After scoring two points in a December 5 loss to the Thunder, Davis has tallied at least 24 in four of his last five appearances. Monday’s performance was the best of the bunch, with the Mavericks forward/center recording a season-high point total and extending his double-double streak to four games. With Daniel Gafford (three points, five rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes) still limited, all of Davis’ minutes were played at the five on Monday. That’s been the norm recently, and the center position may be where AD is most valuable to fantasy managers, even if he prefers to play the four.

Markkanen did not play in Saturday’s win over the Magic, so Kyle Filipowski started alongside Jusuf Nurkić. That would remain the case if Lauri can’t play on Monday. At this point, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hold onto Filipowski, even if he’s asked to come off the bench.

George’s streak of games with at least 30 points ended at three, but the 22-year-old point guard still had 27 points in the overtime loss to the Magic Saturday.

Coming off a 42-point performance in the loss to the Jazz Monday, Flagg was excellent in the win over the Pistons on Thursday.

Flagg stopped and hit a jump shot with 3.4 seconds left in regulation to give the Mavericks the lead, though they still needed overtime to secure the victory.

A season-high 38 minutes allowed Filipowski to produce some of his best work of the season. In his minutes, efficient shooting both inside and outside the arc helped him set a new high in points on the season, which was only the third-most on the Mavs on Monday. Filipowski’s high-scoring performance came with Jusuf Nurkic (rest) on the sideline for Monday’s contest, but when Nurkic returns, the versatile forward will likely head back to the bench to play a more reduced role.

He dominated the glass, tied a season-high in assists, and set a new season-high in steals, all while finishing as one of two Jazz players to score at least 30 points.

He’ll have a chance to keep his streak of 30-point games alive on Thursday when they face the Lakers.

With Memphis playing Friday’s game without its best rebounder, Zach Edey, this was an excellent opportunity for Nurkić to put up a high number in the rebounds category. His 17 boards matched the veteran center’s season-high, and he finished with his sixth double-double. While Nurkić’s fantasy value is ranked outside the top-200 over the last two weeks, he’s a helpful option for managers needing rebounds. Add in the seven assists, and Friday’s was a good night to have Nurk on your roster.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s blowout loss to the Thunder, Markkanen helped Utah end its five-game losing streak to the Grizzlies. After a slow start to the season in the rebound category, Markkanen has grabbed at least eight boards in five straight games.

In his last three games entering Friday, Love totaled 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field. Simply put, no one outside of the Jazz locker room expected the veteran forward to be as productive as he was in Memphis. Love recorded a season-high point total and matched his previous high in three-pointers. As fun as it was to watch him put on an offensive clinic while also grabbing eight rebounds, one game does not make Love a player worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. Especially with the Jazz off until Monday.

George was rolling during the first half of Friday’s game, scoring 27 points. While a combination of improved defending from the Grizzlies and foul trouble conspired to keep the guard scoreless in the third quarter, he would finish with a career-high 39 points.

The significant improvement that he’s made has lowered Isaiah Collier’s fantasy value, but the second-year guard did dish out eight assists in 24 minutes off the bench.
